Meeting with Tomasz Michniewicz, author of the book "Chrobot" (Otwarte Publishing House)

Seven journeys in time. As time is transferred to us as memory, this will be a story of seven journeys through seven memories of seven ordinary people. It might seem as if it was the same world and the same time, but we are presented different perspectives from people living in Uganda, the United States, Colombia, India, Finland, Zimbabwe, and Japan.

Seven stories of ordinary people depicting their problems, challenges, chances, and opportunities. Putting them together makes us realize how much our current life depends on where we were born.

Seven stories by seven people and one attempt to answer the question: What is this all for?
